If you're looking for a place to stay in Bangkok; you want to have an experience of a local in the most authentic way, away from the hustle and bustle - this place is where you need to be. The room looks exactly like what you see in photos. Sam made getting there and checking in a breeze. Her explanation is comprehensive and her command of English is 100%. Sam is an incredible host. She's quick in responses, extremely helpful, kind and her cats are adorable :3
There are shop fronts and roadside stalls set up at her neighbourhood so you basically never go hungry. If you happen to pass by a shop front that sells pork skewers, do. not. miss. out. They're out of this world.
Be sure to visit Sam's friendly housekeeper who's located next to a 7-11 diagonally across the street! She's super duper funny. There was a night I saw that she was occupied with a customer's order and half-way through frying an omelette, she made a dash to 7-11. Her customer took over the wok and ended up cooking her own dinner. Turned out that her housekeeper ran out of cooking oil. XD I also observed customers approaching her stall to make their own som tum. It was so so amusing. It's also how through these incidents that you know that Mdm Housekeeper has fostered strong relationships with her customers and neighbours. So cute :') Btw her fried omelette topped with rice is tasty! Must try!
Commuting to and fro is not a problem. Motorbike taxis and Gr*b are the way to go! I'll definitely be back here again on my next visit to Bangkok!
